    Splitting up blocks of data seperated by blank row

    Hi all, first time on here and have a challenge splitting up some address data before using it for geo location. Does anyone had a formula / script that can move the rows of data into columns, each on one row? Sample below, if you imagine each block of data is over 3 rows, and seperated by one row.

    Tried a few things but can't quite crack it!

    Cheddar Cycle Store
    Valley Line Ind Park, Cheddar, Somerset, BS27 3EE
    01934 741300

    Swift Cycles
    8 Strype Street, London, , E1 7LF
    02073 770 502

    City Cycles - Chichester
    44 Bognor Road, Chichester, West Sussex, PO19 7TG

    Fred Williams Cycles

    Thanks

    Dave

    hi,
    how does your data look like now and how do you want it to look like then ?
    can you show before/after in the file ?
    thanks.

    Awesome thanks, hadn't thought around it that way at all!

    Done it through the 2,000 addresses and it's worked well.
